Apologies to Russ and Jen as they've probably seen this on the Wolves LUG list.
Does anybody have a copy of the DVD entitled Revolution OS? It's a
documentary charting the history (up to about 2002) of Linux and the
OSS as a whole. It's a series of interviews with Linus Torvalds,
Bruce Perens, Richard Stallman and others. I'd love to borrow it to
watch it if anybody has it??? I promise to keep it safe :-) I have
tried Holborn Books but it is no longer available over here (probably
still is in the US).

I'm not on the Wolves LUG list (Jen is) so I hadn't seen it, but we
have a copy that you can borrow if you like.

Russ, that would be fantastic. I promise to treat it with kid gloves.
I'm really interested in the documentary. I only heard about this
DVD a couple of days ago on the SuSE mailing list and it made me sit
up and listen straight away :-)))
How can I pick it up? I'll come over whenever you like to suit you.
Thank you.

What is it?
It's a
documentary charting the history (up to about 2002) of Linux and the
OSS as a whole. It's a series of interviews with Linus Torvalds,
Bruce Perens, Richard Stallman and others.
I copied that from my first e-mail asking about the DVD :-)

I have no objection to that. We would have to have the meeting
somewhere with facilities for watching DVDs or VHS, though. We should
be able to copy it onto VHS if required.
Kevan, I'm not sure when we're around this weekend, so best bet is
probably to ring us on 07906 804 104. Alternatively, we're normally in
most evenings, although we're away a lot at weekends.

Ok, I'll give you a call :-) It won't be tonight as we have a family
meal (eating out) planned.....much to the shock of my dear wife who
has been badgering for us to have one for the last 6 months.
Whereabouts are you Russ?

Great stuff :-) Are you around next week? I can drive up duing the
afternoon if you are at work or in the daytime? Whichever to suit
you.

We may not be around on Monday - might go away for Easter. We should
be around the rest of the week, though. I'm at work during the day,
but Jen can probably be in if she knows when you're coming.

Ok, I'll mail you off list then when I'm coming over. During the day
would be better for me - I won't get battered around the head for
disappearing at night again ;-)))
Note to Andrew: this is what happens when you get married....think wisely ;-)

should expect their partner to change. You bond with a partner
because of the way they are. So why would anybody want to change
them?
My wife does really let me out.....well sometimes.

To be fair, getting married was OK. It's all these short people that
screw life up (bless them!)
They do come in handy for making tea though :-)

Ha! AJE is here and Lucy has been making cups allllll day long!
Lucy is an absolute star :-)
Thinking back, my Charlotte used to be the same. What happened? Oh,
she's now fast approaching 22...
Talking of my daughter - with very large apologies for this going way,
way OT - I used to love listening to Tony Iommi and the others in
Black Sabbath. Turns out my Charlotte is very good friends with Toni
Iommi. It's only Tony's daughter :-0 small world because I was
chairman of a community project and one of the other team members was
Mr Iommi's cousin...
I'm going to try to wrangle a visit to see Ozzy ;-)))
